Gert Andersen On the Rise

Gert Andersen
Gert Andersen
On a flop of {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds}, Jeremy Joseph bet 250,000 from late position into his lone opponent, Gert Andersen who was on the button. Andersen called and the {9-Clubs} hit the turn. Joseph then check-called a bet of 500,000 from Andersen.

The river fell the {8-Spades} and Joseph check-called Andersen's bet again, this time for 1,000,000. Andersen showed {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} and Joseph mucked his {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} face up.

Andersen is now the dominant chip leader with approximately 9,000,000 while Joseph is crippled with just about 500,000.
